On Parlor Greens' debut LP In Green We Dream, they announced their existence boldly to the welcoming arms of funky instrumental fans around the world. Now, two years later, they're back to up the ante. Three true masters of their respective crafts: Tim Carman (formerly of GA-20) on drums, Jimmy James (True Loves) on guitar, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players, The Sugarman 3) on organ. Seasoned and soulful pros coming together to make infectiously funky instrumental jams. Parlor Greens are truly in top form: tour tight and more confident than ever in who they are and where they're going. The album's opener, , "rdquo" -> Eat Your Greens," kicks the doors off with a Charles Earland-inspired four on the floor beat, with Jimmy and Scone driving the tune down the tracks like an overloaded freight train, it simply cannot be stopped. On , "rdquo" -> Red Dog," the group channels the absolute heaviest shade of early R&B with Jimmy's crunchy guitar paving the way for both he and Scone to take scorching solos. , "rdquo" -> Lion's Mane" shows a slightly more sophisticated side of the trio, with nods to one of Scone's organ mentors, the incomparable Dr. Lonnie Smith. Not to be outdone by his bandmates, Tim Carman shows off why he plays the best shuffle this side of the Mississippi on , "rdquo" -> Letter To Brother Ben," a gospel-tinged shuffler. THE GT'S The Grease Traps are an 8-piece funk and soul powerhouse based in Oakland, CA. Featuring a well-oiled rhythm section, tight horns, and stirring vocals by that sharp-dressing, all-around fly dude, The Gata, their musical mix of hard-driving funk and lowdown soul is guaranteed to get your head noddin' and cure your dance jones. The rhythm section takes its cues from the soulful sounds of the MG's, the Meters, the JB's, and the classic rhythm sections of the Atlantic, Hi and Fame labels. In addition to their original material, the Traps are crate diggers as well, breathing new life into lost grooves culled from rare funk 45's and obscure oft-sampled records.
